LONDON, November 4

' Tbe bill, which will be presented in the House of Commons for the better maintenance of public order, faith into two sections, 'this first . strengthening the powers of the police to prohibit or divert political processions which are .likely *to lead to a breach of the peace, and the second forbidding the wearing of political vnli for ms, . without defining uniforms. It is expected that the hill will reach th e Statute Book before Christinas.

The subject was broached- during the debate in the House of Commons on the Address-in-Reply to-night, when Mr’ D. Frankel (Labour, Stepiney), speaking sis a Jew, said that lie represented the constituency with the Largest number of Jews." He said that the attendances at evening classes were declining because Jews' feared tq attend. Small children were being used i to distribute fascist literature and learn anti-Semitic phrases; Jewish people were naturally . alarmed after the happenings in Germany. Mr E. L. Fleming (Conservative, Manchester) expressed the opinion that the trouble in the East End was that of fascist versus Jew; the dis- . order at meetings in the country was caused not by fascists but communists.
